Rave On Buddy Holly
Various Artists
Released:
Jun 2011
Label:
Fantasy Records
The world probably didn't need this collection of covers to affirm Buddy Holly's utter coolness. But it doesn't hurt, especially when you gather an all-star cast -- The Black Keys, Paul McCartney, My Morning Jacket, Fiona Apple, Cee-Lo, Lou Reed, Graham Nash -- to take on the rock 'n' roll icon's timeless work. Some artists choose to keep things authentic, others add touches of modernity, but what's most striking about this compilation is how it shows off Holly's range, from a sweet Southern boy to a hopeless romantic to one sly, suave rocker.
